Looking for
Question 1 of 7
I am me, and me I am. I've been around computers and programming since the dawn of the internet. BASIC started it all for me... I like building tools that improve processes, or help to solve productivity issues. Lately I've been building tools that I needed - job search, camping search... So maybe I just like to make life easier for my users.
Question 2 of 7
Camprtron has taken over as my main project. WorkWomp started my journey though and it's still alive and kicking. Camprtron is a niche campsite searching platform. It helps you find campsites that are close to the activities you love to do, which rather interesting specificity - A mountain that is over 12000' tall, and is within a 30 minute drive of the site. also within 300' of a perennial water source that can be filtered for drinking/cleaning. WorkWomp is a platform designed to help job seekers find jobs that actually improve their quality of life. not just a paycheck and a skills match, but a job where the morals and and lifestyle of the job itself matches the person.
Question 3 of 7
For build in public? It was definitely job hunting. I was so tired of interviewing multiple times with companies and having trouble remembering what company had what perks, which sounded like a terrible fit for my personality, etc. Additionally. I got tired of updating spreadsheets. I built WorkWomp to handle all of that AND provide accurate rankings of my active job applications. I got my new job within 3 weeks of building and using WorkWomp and decided I should share it with everyone
Question 4 of 7
It's super hard to sell your product to people who are looking for work. Marketing is way harder than it sounds, even after you've thought about it for a while.
Question 5 of 7
When it worked for me? haha - when I had users sign up that I didn't know who they were. at least that the marketing was starting to work.
Question 6 of 7
marketing, marketing, marketing.
Question 7 of 7
like everyone says - verify your product ideas before you go all in. even with vibe coded apps it still takes time and costs money to get it to a place that you can show the world. Also start thinking and working on your marketing game plan from day 1 - it goes hand in hand with researching your customers.

Ever wondered how you can still pull up a map on Camprtron whilst in the middle of nowhere with no service and bears circling you!!??? https://camprtron.com/guides/offline-camping-maps
Huge update out today! Camprtron now supports offline maps, and installing the app directly to your iOS and Android devices Simply browse a campsite, then click "save offline" and you can have topographic maps available if you lose service on your adventure! When in browser, you can use the share menu to save the app directly to your device for even easier access to campsite searching. https://camprtron.com
100% - it's out now! PWA and offline mode is now supported. PWA allows your saved maps to stay on device for up to 30 days instead of potentially only up to 7. Making one small adjustment to the blog page about it, then I'll post that link too
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
site looses the fun mountain pictures as you scroll - get rid of the background add more action pics
CamprtronI love the enthusiasm. The images are just for the header/hero section for now. Maybe we will add a user submitted section someday.
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Very organized listing and clean design. I would remove the background pattern as it's quite distracting.
CamprtronYou’re not the first person to mention this so I’ll explore some new options
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
design is clean though the background patterns is quite distracting as I scroll the site. For badges, would be good to use colors or icons so user could glance through listing faster.
CamprtronI’ve heard that a few times now. Perhaps I will explore new background options. Would love to know what you mean by badges
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
I looked at this website months ago and i'm pretty blown away by how much nicer it looks today. The only thing really driving me crazy right now is the map style itself and the hero background image, the hero background image is way too busy.
CamprtronI think this is the fromt he same as the previous feedback - happy to discuss what you mean, DM me on X @Inglehoff
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
The map style itself is super heavy, maybe consider pulling in your brand colors and styling the map itself to better fit your brand style. You could also just use mapbox or similar free mapping libraries to style your map.
CamprtronNot super sure I know what you mean by heavy and not fitting my brand style. all the icons are custom for Camprtron, and the colors match pretty close to the site itself. Would love to discuss if you're open to DM'ing me on X @Inglehoff
Having trouble understanding what they mean by heavy, as well as the styling. The map uses custom icons that are used elsewhere in the app as well and the color theme matches pretty well.. Am I missing something obvious cause I got 2 feedbacks basically saying the exact same thing within 2 minutes. Please let me know what you meant if you see this reply!

Hop ProductTodd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Why are there 3 cards in a 4 card layout? This empty space feels broken. Maybe add a 4th card or make 3 conjoined and responsive cards on a single row?
CamprtronThere are changes planned for this section - this is not the first time it was mentioned. Thanks for leaving feedback though, I appreciate it!
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
I always prefer seeing pricing cards in landing page, but what it costs is still good, otherwise solid work
CamprtronYeah, I agree. I think i moved them to reduce how much was on the landing page.. Might have to play around with that and see if I can't make it look clean adding them back to it.
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Love the immersive imagery on the landing page, gives a strong impression and helps with the product positioning. I like that there's an obvious free trial option too
CamprtronThanks for the feedback. Great to hear positive thoughts after we updated.
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Overall I like the page. Except maybe for the tags. They are very fat and green. Could be more subtle.
CamprtronNot sure I know what you mean by tags - the green buttons? Also we released an updated landing page, so check it out and let me know if you still have issues with green tags
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
keep up the good work - it has potentials
CamprtronThanks so much. Keep checking back in as we make updates. We have a pretty great one coming soon.
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Maybe add a 4th card purely so there isn't a huge empty spot here for desktop users? I'd also consider conjoining these cards so that less space is eaten up by this section on both desktop and mobile.
CamprtronGood thoughts on this - thanks for sharing. I think the conjoining into a single group would make the most sense to me.
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Maybe instead of having these items live in their own container you move the "Start your free trial" button into this container and conjoin this container to the base of the section above it.
CamprtronThanks for the tip! This was cleaned up in the latest release - great suggestion to merge them together. It definitely looks cleaner and more intentional now

This looks soo much better now! Great iteration here dude.
I bow to the gods of UI/UX that give me feedback and instruction on the error of my ways!
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
This button feels unanchored and a bit random as it lives on it's own line with no additional copy.
CamprtronThanks for the tip! This was cleaned up in the latest release
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
I'd consider giving these cards a hard left edge with no redii just so the colored bumper you're using doesn't try to adhere to the rounded corners, this will look way cleaner and look less heavy.
CamprtronThanks for the suggestion. Cleaned up the results list in the latest build!
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for WorkWomp
Footer has way too many links and looks disorganized. Maybe it's just the way it laid out in a browser?
WorkWompThey are there for a reason. Do you have any suggestions on how you would organize them without removing them entirely? I'm open to suggestions!
Finally added a comparison table between my closest competitors. I was actually surprised how well I stacked up after making the grid. Let me know if i'm delusional and should burn it all to the ground. https://camprtron.com/compare
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
have a differentiator fact that why people should use your product rather than google maps
Camprtronwe just added the comparison grid https://camprtron.com/compare
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Very cool idea for sure if you are into hiking and stuff.
CamprtronThanks so much! That's the main goal - help those of us who love to hike, fish and bike find better campsites!
To all Builders/Founders: Just a friendly PSA - if you want your site hoppable, make sure your CSP is configured correctly to let iframes display your site.
This is the CSP error that will happen otherwise: Framing 'yourdomainhere' violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "frame-ancestors 'none'". The request has been blocked.
thank you had that one but resolved it - maybe you can add a copy and pastable prompt for agents so that we can handle it faster
We heard everyones feedback and have made some pretty big changes to update our landing page. New copy and a 98% replica of the actual app in the hero "map" section. check it out and let us know what you think! https://camprtron.com
This is rad dude! Love to see the iteration. It’s been a lot of fun to watch you evolve your products. 🙌
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Now this is just cool! I love to camp and having something like this on hand would be wonderful.
CamprtronSo glad to hear you like Camprtron! We built it because we needed it, so it's great to hear it can be helpful to other people too
Todd Embleton has responded to some feedback for Camprtron
Great resource here! I take it this product team is based in Colorado?
CamprtronActually we are in Austin, TX, But Colorado is our happy place. We love camping in the Rockies!
